We have 3 amazing tricks for you on how to kill the mold and mildew. It is more likely that you already have at least one of them in your kitchen stock.

(adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); With the years going by people have looked for solutions to kill the mold and mildew, and found 3 natural ingredients that kill mold effectively: Vinegar, grapefruit seed extract and tea tree essential oil which can be found in most healthy food stores. Each one of them has its pros and cons, but they all work. By far the cheapest of the bunch is vinegar. Tea tree oil is a broad spectrum fungicide and seems to kill all the mold families when it comes in contact with them, but it is quite expensive. The problem that many people have with tea tree oil is that it has a very strong smell, but it dissipates in a few days. On the other side grapefruit seed extract has no smell, and is also expensive.

Even if you aren’t allergic to mold, it can be dangerous to your health. Many people react to mold by getting depressed and tired. Try to handle the mold and moisture as soon as either appears. Dry out anything that is damp, such as carpets and use a dehumidifier for the basements. Fix leaks in roofs and plumbing. Clean up spills. Always make sure that the water doesn’t escape from the shower curtains.

Vinegar Spray Straight vinegar is reported to kill 82 percent of mold. Take some white distilled vinegar and pour it in a spray bottle, and spray it on the problematic areas, then let it stay without rinsing it off, of course if you can put up with the smell. In a few hours it will dissipate completely. You can add essential oils for a more mellow scent, if you don’t like the smell of vinegar. (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Grapefruit Seed Extract Use the advantage of the grapefruit seed extract that it is odorless, instead of tea tree oil for killing mold.

■ 2 cups of water ■ 20 drops of grapefruit seed extract

Combine the two ingredients in a spray bottle, shake it well to blend, and spray on the problematic areas. Leave it on without rinsing it. From the ingredients you can make about 2 cups, and it will last indefinitely.

Tea Tree Treasure Nothing natural is more effective for mildew and mold as this spray. People have used it successfully on a musty bureau, a musty rug, on a moldy ceiling from a leaking roof and a moldy shower curtain. It is expensive, but a small amount of it will last you for a long time. Don’t forget that the tea tree oil has a very strong smell, but it will dissipate in a few days.

■ 2 cups of water ■ 2 teaspoons of tea tree oil (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); Mix the 2 ingredients in a spray bottle, shake it well to blend the ingredients together, and spray on the problematic areas. Do not rinse it off. From the ingredients you will get about 2 cups, which will last indefinitely.
